Position type: FTE

Job Description
 
The Electrical Engineer designs, tests and documents safety-critical hardware.  Responsible for developing and supporting FPGA/CPLD designs through all phases of design and system integration for high-reliability embedded aerospace and ground based vehicle systems applications.
Responsibilities:
  • Perform activities such as requirements generation, design, RTL-synthesis, test bench development and design simulation, static timing and power analysis, and requirements based design verification.
  • Prototype evaluation, design-to-cost tradeoffs, design reviews, qualification test support, system integration support, production and obsolescence support tasks.
  • Maintain the desire to stay current in the continuously developing field and to expand knowledge base and skills in FPGA design and digital hardware engineering.
  • Works with hardware engineers and senior management to enhance existing applications and build additional applications
  • Designs and develops hardware systems
  • Tests and modifies hardware to ensure it meets specifications and requirements
  • Understands and utilizes internal processes and tools for the development of hardware
  • Decisions may have minor impact on cost, schedule, and technical performance
  • Contributes to engineering estimates on simple hardware designs
  • Improved depth of product domain knowledge
  • Bachelor's Degree and 15-20+ years’ work experience or Master’s Degree and 12+ years of work experience.
 
Required Skills and Education
  • Experience with aerospace controls
  • 15-20+ years circuit design experience, with the demonstrated ability to design HDL-based FPGAs and CPLDs.
  • Knowledge of digital electronic devices and circuit design principles.  Experience using design/analysis tools, such as Timing Designer and Hyperlynx a plus.
  • Hands-on hardware build, test, and integration experience.
  • Motivated self-starter with the ability to effectively work in a team environment.
  • Excellent problem solving skills, judgment, and analytical capability, along with follow-up and monitoring skills.
  • Strong written and oral presentation skills.
  • Experience with Matlab and Simulink for auto-generation of FPGA code
